Abstract

A process for brominating or chlorinating 2-fluoroaniline in a solvent, in which the solvent comprises dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide. For example, 4-bromo-2- fluoroaniline can be prepared by reacting 2-fluoroaniline with bromantin in the presence of dimethylformamide. The product can be used as an intermediate in the preparation of flurbiprofen.

Description

SPECIFICATION Halogenation of 2-fluoroaniline In our Patent Applications Nos. 80/40295 and 80/ 40293 filed on even date herewith (Agents References GJE 6180/198 and GJE 6180/199) claiming priority from US Patent Applications Nos. 105,061 and 105,062, we have described and claimed a method for coupling aniline compounds to benzene compounds to form biphenyl compounds, and methods for converting aromatic, including the biphenyl, compounds to 2-arylpropionic acids. Such acids have valuable therapeutic properties.
A particularly valuable anti-inflammatory agent of the type described is 2-(2-fluoro-4biphenylyl)propionic acid which is also known as flurbiprofen. By the methods described above, this compound can be prepared from 4-halo-2fluoroanilines via 4-halobiphenyls.
U. S. Patent Specification No. 3,987,057 discloses the bromination of 2-fluoroaniline and cites, for example, Wommack etal., J. Het. Chem. 6, 243 (1969). The first report that 4-bromo-2-fluoroaniline is useful as a starting material appears in Kuroda et al., Chem. Abstr. 78,43571q (1973).
According to the present invention, a process for brominating or chlorinating 2-fluoroaniline is conducted in a solvent which comprises dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide. By the process of the invention, 4-bromo-2-fluoroaniline may be prepared by reacting 2-fluoroaniline with a brominating agent and 4-chloro-2-fluoroaniline may be prepared by reacting 2-fluoroaniline with a chlorinating agent.
The preferred brominating agents are Nbromoamides or N-bromoimides. A particularly preferred brominating agent is dibromantin, i.e. 1,3- dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin. The use of dibromantin in dimethylformamide in the process of the invention can provide nearly quantitative results, with unusually high selectivity at the 4-position.
If desired, a brominating agent such as Nbromoacetamide may be prepared in situ in dimethylformamide. Further possible brominating agent is N-bromosuccinimide.
Bromination of 2-fluoroaniiine may be accomplished by dropwise addition of a solution of a brominating agent to a solution of 2-fluoroaniline under conditions given by Wommack etal., J. Het.
Chem. 6,243 (1969) (see above). Temperatures of from 0 to -50, preferably -23 to -34, "C are necessary to obtain the selective 4-position bromination with minimal formation of a dibrominated product.
The 4-bromo-2-fluoroaniline produced can be obtained from the reaction mixture by conventional means such as extraction, chromatography, distillation and combination of these.
Chlorination may be accomplished in a comparable manner.
The following Example illustrates the invention.
Example 37.5 ml of dimethylformamide are added to 36.5 g (0.125 mole, based on assay of 97.7%) of 1,3dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin under nitrogen in a dropping funnel. The mixture is stirred until the solids dissolve, and then the light yellow solution is added dropwise over 55 minutes to a solution of 24.1 ml of (0.250 mole) of 2-fluoroaniline in 30 ml of DMF, which is kept at -34 to -23 C with a Dry Ice-acetone bath. The dropping funnel is rinsed with 5 ml of methylene chloride which is also added to the reaction. The reaction mixture is poured into a separating funnel containing 27 ml of methylene chloride, 128 ml of heptane, 1 1g of 50% NaOH, and 120 ml of water.After phase separation, the aqueous layer is extracted with 50 ml of 20% methylene chloride in heptane, and the combined organic extracts are washed with 3 x 100 ml of water.
Evaporation of the organic solution to constant weight gives 46.4 grams (98% of theory) of an oil.
Gas liquid chromatographic analysis gives the following chemical yields: 4-bromo-2-fluoroaniiine, 94%; 2-fluoroaniline,0.2%; 2-bromo-6-fluoroaniline, 0.3%; 4,6-dibromo-2 fluoroaniline, 0%.
